Whistlingwings do you have any pictures of the bare hull and specs?Thanks.

[whistlingwings]

The prototype was hunted from today. There will be a couple of refinements made and an addition of a grass rail. Another design was drawn up today also.
Pics of the hull "bare" will not be available untill March when the hull is released at the Florida Mudbuddy Roundup.
However you can catch a slight "glimpse" in another thread here on the forums
I will say they are definately stable, low profile, easy to get in and out of, track great when poled or paddled, lightweight, affordable and most important of all STACKABLE

Looking forward to more info in the future I think its about what we been looking for instead of our glass over ply sleds we've made in the past.Thanks.

Hey Winston, what's the estimated price?

[whistlingwings]

****Estimate only****

$475.00

[whistlingwings]

We're taking orders.

There were a few changes to the hull. Went to .080 plate for rigidity.
The .063 original was too light and the bottom popped like a pop can as you shifted around in the hull.
The .080 weighs in at 76lbs.

The avery Power hunter blind is a perfect and inexpensive addition to the hull for quick and convenient concealment,
a sheet or two of grass is also an option for more cover.

Floats good, thats 180lbs of Lake George Legend on the dead edge of the hull, I had to force it to take on water.

That's a nice little contraption Winston. I just might have to get one or two. My only question is, does becoming a legend have to make you so butt ugly? You should have got some models like AirRanger!!!!

[whistlingwings]

Be glad to send one or two down your way, **** may even deliver them in person for an STA experience.

As far as ugly, no doubt. Pop had to hang a t-bone around my neck just to get the dog to play with me when I was little
